Chick-Fil-A Summer Internship

At the Chick-fil-A of West Columbia and Saluda Pointe, our purpose is to "refresh" the lives of all we serve. We are passionate about serving our community and team in the best way possible and strive to live out our core values each day. We believe that to truly serve well, you must be humble, hungry, and healthy in both your professional and personal life. We carry out these values by putting others' needs before our own, maintaining a mindset of continuous growth, and radiating positivity and a grateful attitude through balance in our lives.

Working at Chick-fil-A is more than just a job; it is an opportunity to grow both personally and professionally, work on a caring team, and learn business skills from an independent Operator. Team members gain life experiences that go beyond just serving a fresh chicken sandwich in a friendly environment. This internship could be a stepping stone to a successful future and teaches leadership and communication skills that help people in their future careers. No experience is necessary, we can teach you everything you need to know!

Interns at our Chick-fil-A locations will get a chance to look behind the curtain to see what it takes to be a part of such a fast-paced environment. They will work closely with other Supervisors and Directors to implement operational strategies that both grow the business while maintaining a culture of care that is reflective of our purpose and values. Lastly, they will also help serve and care for our amazing guests that visit us each and every day.
